Thx

Too much out of the pace, not fun for two hours driving alone

dont know why    
good evening

Fun track, bad luck. Early damage lost me top speed on the straights and stability in the infield. With bad lap times and the gap to cars in front increasing steadily, I retired rather than wrestling a pig of a car for another frustrating hour. On to Riverside!

I have had better races

First lap I think I donated too much paint from my car to others. Someone (Gerard) swept in front of me entering first high bank, that hurt. Hope you were able to continue whoever it was.

Alain, on pit exit I never saw you. Heard you just as it was too late and I overshot the pit exit turn. I was too busy looking for Jan on track and watching Jason who was just ahead. All my fault, sorry. Flat tire there ended this day effectively.

Results are up,  points to follow

Sorry Mike, I had not seen you.

Honestly I have no idea what happened. I suspect you were sliding up and I hooked the turn better so we met at the top. Given how crappy I drove at best I suspect it was a neutral incident.

Hi all


C'est pas grave Mike, mais quel choc,


[quote="Mike Becnel"]

J'ai rien compris sur le coup, mais d'ou sort cette voiture, je n'en avais pas dans les retroviseur pourtant ???????

J'étais en baguare avec Jason, course de Mustang



C'étais bien sympas Jason, nous arrivions au moment du ravitaillement, moment crucial pour le course, sans expérience, je n'étais pas en confience.

Après le crach avec Mike, 179s de pit, Jason m'avais pris 1 tour, impossible de revenir.

J'abandonne 4 tours plus tards au V1 après avoir loupé mon freinage.

Dur dur RFACTOR.

Bravo devant, Greg avec sa BM orange à survolé l'épreuve, quelle vitesse

Bravo au reste du podium et merci aux Admins pour l'organisation.

Well, another race with nobody around me for most of the time.
I tried to catch mr. Martinelli, I had a better pace, but tyres and stupidity in combination resultet some car damage, and finaly, he was to far for me. Congratulations. After my pit-stop in after 25laps, I was sure you are will have to enter pitstop too, but Im not sure if you made one or not. I realised Ill have to push up to catch you, but it was too late..

nice track, a little bit too long for a 15 drivers grid. But a podium is a nice motivation to push up more!

Thank you everyone!

truly awesome race for me!

had a great start, even with a bit of lag. found myself in place 4 for a bit, until Mike caught me. which i had quite a nice short battle with, after that i did spin in turn by putting a wheel on the grass which meant Jan could get past... and the next laps i tried catching back up, which worked for a few laps, i won a couple seconds in the infield, which almost all i lost on the oval (apparently or my set-up or the Javelin was slower) but i was catching about o,5 or 1 sec a lap. which after a couple laps changed to nothing or losing time on him. so about the full race i drove with him in my sights, but nothing i could do about it


(nice picture btw)
until after the pits, i just managed to get in front of him! which i fluffed up 2 laps later by running wide, but i did have to be careful at the last laps, because Philippe was just a couple seconds back on me, after he ran trhu the pits (for no reason?) but i brought it home 4th, just out side the podium but very happy nonetheless!

Hi , I was on for 3rd place, but when I pitted for a quick fuel stop a blew my engine.

Très bonne course avec un résultat un peu flateur pour moi puisque les abandons de P. Lepihive et de Ray m'ont offert la deuxième place en catégorie TA-2...  

Mon plan était de ne faire qu'un arrêt aux stands, le plus bref possible, pour mettre les quelques litres de carburant que je savais indispensables pour finir la course. Mes tests montraient que les pneus devaient tinir les 50 tours, donc pas de changement de pneus et pas de réparations... Résultat, 11 secondes d'arrêt, et perte minimum de temps sur mes concurrents directs, Raul et Dylan avec qui j'ai bagarré à petites distances, les 12 derniers tours.

Le début de course avec Pascal Gibelin, Jason et Alain avait été assez chaud et cela a même bien frotté de la carrosserie mais sans gros dégâts. Pour le reste, la patience et la régularité ont payées, je n'ai fait que très peu de faute sur l'ensemble de la course, ce qui compense mon manque rapididé relatif (sauf par rapport à Greg... bien entendu   )

Merci à tous pour ces bons moments de compétition   .

Bravo encore à Greg et Yves en TA-1 et aux podium  Merci HSO pour l'organisation

A la prochaine

I totally forgot that I was not home on sunday evening and could not make it for the race.

Sorry for that.

Timo
